Wow. Okay. Let's clarify a little. Like Analog said, I'm not having trouble with the kid. She adapts to my schedule relatively well. The issue is that it's difficult to keep a schedule when she's not used to it. When I don't see her for a couple days, it's like we're starting over. I'm not going to give her a reward for doing simple things she's expected to do anyway (other than "Thank you for helping/cleaning up/putting away your wipes). I don't think that I should have to give her something or do something special for every little thing she does.
The concern I have the most at this point (as my schedule for her has settled her quite a bit) is that she's already moved around and had such issues bonding and had her schedules changed so many times that she'll have more trouble with mom because MOM doesn't maintain one for her. She'll have more issues adapting, more attitude problems, etc etc.
